Each semester, the Graduate Humanities Program engages the intersection of the arts, literature, culture, and history within an open, exploratory, and experimental educational environment.<\/p>\n
Students enrolled in the Graduate Humanities Program explore broad interdisciplinary issues through a diverse array of course offerings.\u00a0 Most of these are offered in a virtual seminar format: discussion-based graduate-level courses focused on reading, open and regular dialogue, collaborative and interactive interpretation, research and writing. <\/strong><\/p>\n While several seminars are discipline-specific (our core curriculum, for example), most are designed to go beyond individual disciplines and enlist students in the cross-disciplinary study of the humanities.<\/p>\n Click on the links below for registration information for individual seminars.\u00a0 You can find general registration information on the MU Registrar website<\/a>.<\/p>\n For previous seminar schedules, see our “Previous GHP Seminar Schedules” site<\/a>.<\/p>\n Before joining any of our seminars, familiarize yourself with the Program’s Seminar Rules of Engagement<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n CULS 600: Selected Topics \u2014 MAJOR SCHOLAR SEMINAR \u2014 Public Humanities in Action (VIRTUAL) (Breunlin), Tuesdays, 7 \u2013 9:50 PM<\/a><\/p>\n The Major Scholar Seminar<\/strong> is back!\u00a0 More information about the initial program, which ran from 2014 to 2020, is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our Major Scholar Seminar program continues an initiative to engage Graduate Humanities students in scholarly activity with major outside scholars and public intellectuals (i.e., individuals who have made important contributions to scholarship, teaching, and\/or public life).<\/p>\n This all-virtual course is BY PERMISSION only<\/strong>, with a limited number of seats.\u00a0 All Marshall graduate students are welcome, but first preference will go to GHP students.
